martin and sylvia

Martin and Sylvia live in tall house with lots of windows. In their backyard is all a five and a seven year old could ever want: a brook, a tree swing, a playhouse and a garden full of magical friends. These two enterprising and all-too-familiar children explore the nooks and crannies of their house, the infinite possibilities of their yard and the occasional trips to downtown, where their best friends live.

so many fairies

There are so many beings in the woods: stone beings, air fairies, wood elves, fire sprites. Most of us cannot see or hear them, but sometimes — especially when we are very young — we can. Each week in So Many Fairies, children will enter the magic of the natural world, encounter fairy folk, and meet questions of ecology and sustainability with their imaginations.

junkyard tales

Benjamin Thompson is an unusual name for a cat. But then Ben is an unusual cat. Perhaps by chance or by fate, Ben finds a new home in a most unusual place.

The Junkyard is also home to a steadfast watchdog, a refined rat, a silly skunk, a wise old possum and a host of helpful mice. Junkyard Tales is a delightful story of community and all the joys and challenges that come with it.

saturday sparkle

Remember Saturday morning cartoons? We would wake early to catch our favorite shows and start the weekend with fun and fancy. Many parents are looking for a similar time “off” on Saturday morning but are careful about media content and want to find high quality material for their children. Saturday Sparkle offers stories, songs, poetry and fun games that spread out well beyond the 30 to 40 minutes of content.
